Editor's Introduction | ||
|
Carmelo Santos, Editor The work of theological and ethical reflection is done by particular human beings in specific circumstances, imbued by the ethos and pathos of the Sitz im Leben in which they have been formed and in which they live, think and write.

Loving Later Life: An Ethics of Aging by Frits de Lange. Frits de Lange is professor of ethics at the Protestant Theological University in the Netherlands and Extraordinary Professor in Systematic Theology and Ecclesiology at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. His book on the ethics of aging needs no apology for its relevance in the graying of our world, a phenomenon more immediate affluent societies but moving inexorably forward in all societies. This widespread development with its issues of justice, economic challenges, filial responsibilities, quality of life, and dignity for the elderly is the first reason de Lange says we need an ethics of aging.
